4 Princelet Street, Spitalfields
4 Princelet Street is a fine example of a Spitalfields house originally built in 1723 for Ben Truman, owner of a nearby brewery. In common with may other houses in the area it passed to a Huguenot family who were silk weavers; the top-floor weaving loft still survives. Today the property is available for hire as a location for filming, photography and private functions.

Huguenot weaver's house in Spitalfields
Spitalfields has some wonderful streets of 18th century Huguenot weavers' houses, especially in ones like Wilkes Street. This one just around the corner in Princelet Street needs a little attention to bring it up to the standard of the others.

Princelet Street, south side looking east.
No 2, in the foreground, was the home of Anna Maria Garthwaite (1690 to 1763) the daughter of a wealthy rector in Lincolnshire. She moved with her sister to Spitalfields where she became a leading designer for the local silk industry. She catalogued her designs, recording details of the weavers and mercers, and these are now held by the V & A Museum.
